Version 0.1 (January 2012)
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Most language features work, including:
|
|
* Unique pointers, unique closures, move semantics
|
|
* Interface-constrained generics
|
|
* Static interface dispatch
|
|
* Stack growth
|
|
* Multithread task scheduling
|
|
* Typestate predicates
|
|
* Failure unwinding, destructors
|
|
* Pattern matching and destructuring assignment
|
|
* Lightweight block-lambda syntax
|
|
* Preliminary macro-by-example
|
|
|
|
* Compiler works with the following configurations:
|
|
* Linux: x86 and x86_64 hosts and targets
|
|
* MacOS: x86 and x86_64 hosts and targets
|
|
* Windows: x86 hosts and targets
|
|
|
|
* Cross compilation / multi-target configuration supported.
|
|
|
|
* Preliminary API-documentation and package-management tools included.
|
|
|
|
Known issues:
|
|
|
|
* Documentation is incomplete.
|
|
|
|
* Performance is below intended target.
|
|
|
|
* Standard library APIs are subject to extensive change, reorganization.
|
|
|
|
* Language-level versioning is not yet operational - future code will
|
|
break unexpectedly.
